Hi and Lois, 4/24/25

I love that Hi has absolute faith that Ditto, despite not having shown any great baseball prowess in this strip to date, will eventually become an elite athlete capable of competing at the highest level of his chosen sport, but he’s still deeply worried that he’ll be one of those big leaguers who drinks most of their salary and loses the rest of it in ill-advised investments promoted by their buddies and has to do the county fair autograph circuit well into their old age to survive.

Six Chix, 4/24/25

Big news, everyone: It’s the year 2025, and Six Chix finally did a comic about getting high! I mean, I guess a lot of Six Chix strips are subtextually about getting high. Like remember the series of strips about the gal who had sex with a giant sandwich, then got got cucked by the sandwich, then went to a pizza orgy? In retrospect, that sequence was almost certainly getting-high-adjacent, at the very least. But I feel like this is the first one where they come right out and say it.

Wizard of Id, 4/24/25

Hey, kids, are you familiar with the King in the Wizard of Id, whose main defining character design feature is that he has a comically large nose? Well, apparently his nose is (was?) big because he’s … old? Which makes your nose big? You learn something new every day, I guess.

“I guess if she doesn’t come around, it means you weren’t so terrific after all, ha ha! Anyway, let’s meet up this weekend for some absurdly large salads, if your dad’s girlfriend hasn’t killed you yet.”

Six Chix, 3/29/25

Look, man, everyone claims to love mermaids in theory, but a chimeric monster that’s half mammal, half fish was not meant to swim in the waters of our planet, and the only reason any seaside coffee hut should be catering to them on “National Mermaid Day” is as part of a sting operation allowing our military to capture one of these nightmarish cryptids and put our best scientists to work studying them so we can learn more about their weaknesses.

Pardon My Planet, 3/29/25

You know how sometimes you come up with a great gag for a cartoon, and then you draw the whole cartoon, but then you realize you’ve left a key visual signifier out of the cartoon so it doesn’t make sense, and it would be a big pain to redraw everything? Well, good news: you can just write the name of the thing you forgot to draw at the bottom of the panel and call it a “caption.” Nobody will stop you, or even care that much.

Six Chix, 3/14/25

Happy Pi Day, everybody! Today, 3/14, is used as a tongue-in-cheek opportunity to celebrate pi, the mathematical constant that is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter and that is approximately 3.14 (though as an irrational number its digits continue on infinitely and unpredictably). Let’s celebrate by enjoying this cartoon, which features a lady baking a pie and also the world being destroyed by various means (nuclear explosion, alien attack, fires, bees, and so forth). It’s perfect! 100% great. No notes on this one.

Dagwood, if your boss is walking around the office on the Ides of March raving about being Julius Caesar and you didn’t organize a group of subordinates to stab him to death, you have failed as a man and an employee. He’s basically begging to be stabbed! Put him out of his misery, for Pete’s sake!

Gil Thorp, 3/14/25

Rodney Barnes is a great player but his previous attempts to get recruited to the next level didn’t pan out, and now we know why: he loudly yells every move he makes before he makes it. “SWIPE!” “PASS!” Can you imagine a big-time D1 or NBA player shouting this stuff on the court? Embarrassing.

If Wilbur has no idea whether or not Belle has kids, that means Belle DEFINITELY has never heard of Dawn. And you know what? Good for her.
